Reducing
expense
is
a
mandate
of
departments
in
every
company;
this
is
particularly
true
for
those
departments
that
are
traditionally
considered
a
“necessary
cost”
…
like
security.
I
won’t
debate
here
why
I
truly
believe
that
security
is
an
enabler
of

It's
the
age-old
question:
why
did
the
chicken
cross
the
road?
With
one
chicken,
the
answer
is
easy
to
compute.
But,
what
if
there
were
millions
of
chickens
crossing
the
road?
And
each
chicken
had
a
mobile
device
and

There
is
a
German
proverb
that
says,
“The

themselves.
The

Londoners

taking
this

very
serious.

The
intensity
of
the
threat
landscape
is
constantly
increasing
and
evolving.
As
a
result,
we
have
seen
a
lot
of
corresponding
innovation
in
security
technologies
and
services,
often
times
from
small
businesses.
While
we

The
interwebs
are
still
buzzing
with
the
news
of
Marissa
Mayer's
move
from
Google
to
Yahoo.
Understandable,
given
her
achievements
at
the
former
and
troubles
at
the
latter.
Plus,
she's
pregnant.
Still,
what's
more
interesting
to
me
is
a
small
but
telling
passage

Today,
every
company
of
appreciable
size
has
some
social
media
presence.
Most
companies
I
speak
with
are
either
just
monitoring
social
media
or
are
engaged
in
“spray-and-pray”
tactics
that
are
only
loosely

“I’m

Usually
when
traveling
for
work
or
vacation
and
right
after
takeoff,
I
undoubtedly
begin
to
panic,
much
like
the
mother

Home
Alone.
I
constantly
worry
that
I
left
the
garage

I
love
hearing
from
customers.
I
love
it
even
more
when
they're
willing
to
share
their
success
stories
with
the
world.
Like
the
case
below,
wherein
Florida
Hospital,
Deluxe
Corporation,
and
Baldor
discuss
how
migrating
from
Oracle
to
IBM
DB2
has
lowered
their
costs

improved
